Hi KK, Your photos and the capturing are very excellent and stunning. It would be perfect if the Great Knot was flying toward you. Would you mind to tell us the location and date of photo please. Regards, Forrest

| Forrest, 對於我來說:KK這張相片已經是完美的!銳利的眼睛、張開的尾羽,特別是下壓的 翅膀------除了讓我們看到翅膀的花紋外,還可以留意頭、背部和尾羽形成的曲線 。 飛
